More horses:
(the saw is my homelite XL-925..its my no. 2 main saw. Typically go to the woods with the XL-800 and this 925, the pair does all I want to do.)

An aerial veiw of our ridge (one side of the road) where the old saws do their work.
(Would love to have an old saw get together ..posted once but no one was interested)

Have to have a picture of weimedog.....so here it is:
The future of weimedog old saws.
Going to retire my XL-800. Its in perfect shape. Pull the muffler and the piston/cylinder chrome look like new. No kidding.
SO
The 925 gets to be no.1 saw with a new 20in bar next week. (Its also like new internally but the handle has been dinged and it has some cosmetic issues....mechanically&functionally perfect.
This saw (Homelite XL-1020) is ALSO in very nice shape...IT gets the 28in bar currently on the 925....and those two (the 925&1020) will be the two that go to the woods....so here's another angle of the future no.2

Hi Homelite lovers,
Just a note the XL-925 bar is different than the 1020. The 925 and 800 are of course the same, D096 oregon and the 1020 is F014 oregon. The F014 has a much wider tail area.

By the way as far as different bars are concerned...you can adapt the smaller bar to the C-Series & XP series. I have the splines type clutch & slip on sprockets. Use a 3/8 sprocket. Widen the Adjustment hole a bit a grind in oil holes to allow the wider oil slot to oil the bar..it works & the curvature is right for the 3/8 sprocket at the end of the bar. So the 28inch got hacked up and put on a C-7. Also as Al Smith mentioned in another post you can adapt Stihl bars. When trying to make these old monsters work there are many ways to skin a cat. I had to blend a Poulan bar to fit my little Super EZ!
